“This u0026quot;filmu0026quot; is actually too lovably bad to actually hate. But that doesnu0026#39;t mean I could watch it without being bound to a couch with a rope. If youu0026#39;ve seen the mediocre-to-bad u0026quot;Lifeguardu0026quot; starring Sam Elliott, replace the world of lifeguarding with the ultra-competitive lifestyle of club tennis-pros and replace Elliott with Bert Convy (of TVu0026#39;s u0026quot;Tattletalesu0026quot; fame).u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003enThe sight of Convy jumping over the net in too-white and too-small tennis shorts to congratulate Bjorn Borg on a game well-played is an image I have never been able to shake.”
